WEDNESDAY 6TH MARCH – ASH WEDNESDAY 10 AM SERVICE –- do come along to this service at the beginning of Lent.  It will be a Communion Service and will include placing a cross of 'Ash' on your forehead to symbolise that we are mortals and in need of repentance and salvation bought through the sacrifice of Jesus.

NEW PATTERN OF WORSHIP - At the last PCC meeting it was decided that after Easter we would follow the pattern of worship as outlined:
First Sunday in the month: an ‘All Age’ Communion service at the 10.00 am service, still shorter and child friendly!  (This means we will no longer have a BCP Communion Service at 8.00 am)
First Tuesday in the month: prayer walk.  9.30 am
With opportunity to gather for a cuppa afterwards in the village.
Second Wednesday of the month: mid-week BCP Communion at 10.30 am
Third Monday of the month:  Meditation at 7.30 pm
Fourth Tuesday:  Home Group at the Rectory. 7.30 pm

MESSY CHURCH

Our next Messy Church is on Tuesday 26th March 2019 from 3.30 until 6pm.  We begin the session with crafts, and games, then we go into Church for a short Christian talk with music, praise and prayers, then return to the hall for a High Tea.  Everyone is most welcome!

  FAMILY WORSHIP

Do come and join us on the first Sunday of each month for our new Family Worship service at 10am.  The service is designed as an All-age Service, so we hope that children and families, indeed people of all ages, will come and be able to feel involved.  Do please let other people know about this service. 

Further details of events can be found on the Pew Sheet.
